Manu Multimedia Internship

"During my three-month internship at the Manu Learning Centre in the Peruvian rainforest as a multimedia intern, I gained invaluable experience in creative work. This opportunity allowed me to develop a more profound appreciation for nature and the rainforest. Witnessing its beauty and fragility first-hand ignited a deep love and commitment to environmental conservation. Furthermore, working with my camera professionally in this unique community setting revealed the joy and fulfilment that comes for me from capturing and sharing stories that matter. It was a period of personal growth, where my passion for both nature and visual storytelling merged harmoniously, leaving me with memories and experiences which will shape my journey."

"My time interning with the Crees Foundation at the Manu Learning Center was truly life changing. Not only did it enhance my skill set and professional portfolio but perhaps more importantly it connected me to an international community of like minded thinkers who helped to restore my faith in the human animal. I am grateful for my experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to take a leap of faith, and be the change they wish to see in this wonderful world."

“I had an amazing experience on my multimedia internship at the MLC. It’s such a beautiful place and was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Danny was incredibly supportive of both me and Sebas, not just in terms of the work but also in terms of our wellbeing and overall enjoyment. I was really interested in exploring the community aspect of Crees and Danny went out of his way to facilitate my involvement in these different activities, creating unique and interesting opportunities. I loved our trip to Diamanté and it was great to be given responsibility and working as a team there. I also really enjoyed my time in Salvacion where I got to see the work in the bio gardens with Maria. Overall my time at the MLC was incredible and Danny is a really inspiring, reliable and hard working mentor. The experience really helped me focus on not just improving my technical skills, but also on thinking towards the future about what I want to get out of my career and life.”

"My experience during my multimedia internship with Crees was awesome, I came into it with a lot of experience but was still able to develop my skills and learn new things during my time. This was thanks to the amazing work that Danny put it in to help develop us and give us the best experience possible. Danny was not only a great coach but a great friend and was very supportive and massive laugh. My experience with crees was life changing, it taught me a lot about myself and really developed me as a person, I met incredible people along the way and ultimately came out of it a different person. Being able to form a relationship with a bird that incredible (the harpy eagle) and film it’s movements for 4 days was the most memorable experience, I cherish it fondly. I spent most of my days joking around, everyday was different, my best experiences were had in the MLC, from skipping rocks to walking the lucamayo stream over and over again to look for a big cat, to clearing paths with machetes and eating an unimaginable amount of great food for breakfast. I will never forget my time at the MLC, and I think I left my mark on the MLC aswell"
